Bascule is reading a book. What is the probability that the first digit of the page he is on is 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5?

a) obtain an expression
b) approximate a numerical value

(In reply to re(4): well.. by Cheradenine)

"eg g(9) = 1/10 + 1/10 + 1/10 + 1/10 + 0/10
+ 0/10 + 0/10 + 0/10 + 0/10
= 5/9"

should be

eg g(9) = 1/9 + 1/9 + 1/9 + 1/9 + 1/9
+ 0/9 + 0/9 + 0/9 + 0/9
= 5/9
